This is the finished product of our latest in-house van build — a fully functional, highly efficient locksmith van setup created for under $4,500 AUD (including signwriting, but excluding stock, machines, and two slide-out drawers). Considering most locksmith vans cost $10k–$20k to fit out like this, the result is nothing short of amazing.

This is another one of our vans, built to bring fresh ideas to the table — improving working positions, comfort, practicality, safety, and speed of use. The design features a rear stand-up workbench with sliding drawers for instant access to tools and stock, a heavy-duty slide-out vice for safe and clean cutting, a slide-out key machine enclosure that contains brass shavings, and smart storage for parts, tools, and key blanks.

Highlights include:

Rear bench with sliding drawers – no crawling into the van.

Lower, centralised storage for better vehicle stability.

Slide-out vice positioned at waist height for comfort and safety.

Enclosed key machine slide with built-in brass shavings control.

Quick-access parts bins, tool shelves, and labelled storage.

Secondary indoor workbench for wet weather.

Organised storage for levers, knobsets, and ladders.

Rear and side window protection.

12 high-output COB LED lights for maximum visibility.

Fully removable and transferable to the next Hiace – no extra holes drilled.

For less than half the cost of a standard fitout, this van delivers more function, more comfort, and more efficiency — proving you don’t have to spend big to get a top-tier locksmith setup.
